Two days solve it: castle and lanes first, monasteries as the second morning's quiet — on one packed day make them your crowd-escape: when the square chokes after noon the cloisters stay near-empty always. With children they become mandatory: workshops beat guided rooms for them without debate.
The centre's site posts open-workshop times (turning up mostly suffices) while private sessions (bread/paper/glass) ask days ahead — summer crowds, so early. Their prices sit atop the ticket, and your piece leaves with you: a souvenir genuinely made.

A monks' town behind the castle: the fourteenth-century complex joined two houses — Minorite friars and Poor Clares — with shared church, gardens and arcaded passages, restored whole as a living craft centre: the historic town's third limb, and its quietest by a startling margin. Its philosophy is the medieval hand: workshops that actually work — a baker firing his oven, a potter at his wheel, a glass-smith, a manuscript scribe — and bookable sessions to make your own paper, bread or glass piece. The historical route runs muraled cloisters, the Corpus Christi church, and vast timber attics as exhibition halls. For families a particular treasure: children's wings dressing the small in period clothes and setting them to crafts — an hour that soaks up lane-weary energy, cleverly.
